Rolling Hills on Youtube

In order to write our Central Disney Area Destination Guide, we visited each of the communities in the Orlando area and in a lot of cases we also recorded a brief video of the community and uploaded it to Youtube. We did this on our visit to Rolling Hills, which you can see by clicking below. These videos are fairly short and are simply intended to give an impression of the community and provide potential guests with more of a feel for the neighborhood.

Rolling Hills Weather

Central Florida has a sub-tropical climate, like much of the Sunshine state. There are two basic seasons - a hot and rainy season, lasting from May until late September (roughly coinciding with the Atlantic hurricane season), and a cold and dry season from October through April. The area's warm and humid climate is caused primarily by its low elevation, its position relatively close to the Tropic of Cancer, and its location in the center of a peninsula. Many characteristics of its climate are a result of its proximity to the Gulf Stream, which flows around the peninsula of Florida. During the height of the humid summer season, high temperatures are typically in the lower to mid 90s °F (32–36 °C). The area's humidity acts as a buffer, usually preventing actual temperatures from exceeding 100 °F (38 °C). Expect rain and thunderstorms so a light rain jacket will be invaluable. During the cooler season, humidity is much lower and temperatures are more moderate, between 70°F and 80°F (23 -26°C). The months of October through May are Orlando's dry season.
